419: Chapter 400: He is the Chief of the Censorate Department_1 419: Chapter 400: He is the Chief of the Censorate Department_1 Lu Chuan walked towards the airport exit, and just as he was about to reach the exit, he suddenly saw a group of people approaching him aggressively.
He turned to look behind himself and, after confirming there was no one else there, he knew they were coming for him.
He thought about it and figured these people might be illegal taxi drivers.
He thought to himself that it was ridiculous how even the large airport in Capital City still had illegal taxis soliciting passengers, that the management really was lacking, and how these drivers, banding together, all looked as if someone owed them hundreds of dollars each, not friendly at all.
As he approached the group, he said, “Sorry, I’m not looking for a taxi.”
Then he intended to bypass these people and continue walking outside.
Dashan immediately led everyone to block Lu Chuan’s path, cursing, “Who the hell asked you to take a taxi, kid?
You’ve got trouble now!”
Lu Chuan looked at the group with confusion and asked, “I shouldn’t know any of you, right?”
Dashan took out his phone and showed Lu Chuan the video that Cheng Yao had posted online, angrily saying, “You’ve really got some nerve, to even dare to snatch our Yaoyao’s seat.
And you call yourself a man, how can you have the face to do that?”
As Lu Chuan watched the video with its misleading captions, his brows furrowed slightly, and he realized that the Yaoyao these people were talking about must be the woman who had wanted his seat.
He had not expected this woman to so distort the facts, failing to take his seat and instead falsely accusing him of taking hers, which was just outrageous.
Guessing that these men must be die-hard fans who had believed that woman’s one-sided story, he explained, “I did not take her seat; she wanted mine and I refused.
Then she slandered me.”
At that moment, Cheng Yao came over from not far away, shouting arrogantly, “You’re full of shit!
It was you who stole my seat and even wanted to hit me!
Let me tell you, these are my fans.
They’ve come to seek justice for me.
I advise you to apologize to me right away, or you won’t be able to leave the airport in peace today!”
“That’s right, apologize to Yaoyao right now, or we won’t let you off!”
“How could you steal a girl’s seat?
You’re not human; you have to kneel down and apologize!”
A group of fans egged each other on.
Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh in anger, looking at Cheng Yao and saying, “So you’ve gathered so many fans just to twist the truth ?
If all online influencers were like you, would there be any justice left in this world?”
Cheng Yao sneered, “Stop with the nonsense.
The reality is, I have ten million fans while you’re just a nobody.
If I want to slander you, you’ll never be able to clear your name!”
“You’d better kneel down and apologize quickly, and then we can let this go.
Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’ll never have the chance to stay single.
You’ll be spat on by everyone; a spit from each person would be enough to drown you!”
Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly and then took out his phone to make a call.
Cheng Yao asked, “Who are you calling?”
Lu Chuan replied, “Censorate Department.”
He knew that facing an influencer with such a mass following, his own words would be of no use, for behind her were frenzied fans who would believe whatever she smeared, regardless of the truth.
Therefore, in such a situation, the best solution was to turn to an official organization.
The Censorate Department represented authority, and it could clarify the matter and convince the public, while also punishing the influencer who distorted facts.
He wasn’t afraid that Cheng Yao would dare to talk nonsense in front of the Censorate Department, as the airport surveillance would reveal the truth once the footage was retrieved.
Cheng Yao burst into laughter upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, saying, “Have you forgotten I told you that my uncle is with the Capital City’s Censorate Department?
His position there is not low.
Even if you get someone from the Censorate Department, I can still handle it!
Besides, I could have you charged with causing trouble and put away for half a month!”
Lu Chuan didn’t respond to her, knowing that her uncle might indeed wield some power within the Censorate Department, but with his current strength, he was confident that they wouldn’t dare to play any tricks on him.
Soon, the call connected.
“Hello, I’ve run into some trouble and need your help,” Lu Chuan said as he began.
A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end, “Mr.
Lu, may I ask what trouble you’ve encountered?”
Lu Chuan, puzzled, said, “Huh, how did you know my last name is Lu?”
The voice on the phone said, “Mr.
Lu, you see, your deeds have already made you famous inside our Censorate Department, so you are now a key person we monitor.
I had your number flagged, so whenever you call our Censorate Department’s number, the call is forwarded directly to my phone.”
“Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Feng Yuanshan, Chief Dignitary of Capital City’s Censorate Department.
Also, forgive me for being presumptuous, but we were informed in advance that you would be flying to Capital City today, so I am currently at the airport exit waiting to receive you.”
“Are you already off the plane?
May I know what trouble you have encountered?”
Lu Chuan was taken aback, never imagining that he had become a person of interest to the Censorate Department, and that it was the Chief Dignitary of the Capital City’s Censorate Department who had personally answered his call, which both flattered and surprised him.
Is this the benefit of gaining more power?
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Lu Chuan then said, “Since you’re already at the airport exit, why don’t you come in?
I’ve been blocked by a female influencer and a crowd of her fans.
She’s falsely accusing me of stealing her seat and is now trying to force me to kneel and apologize.”
I’ll bring my team in right away.
Don’t worry, with us here, no one will trouble you today,” Feng Yuanshan quickly assured.
Lu Chuan hummed in response and hung up the phone.
At the airport exit, Feng Yuanshan put down his phone and shouted to the people of the Censorate Department, “All personnel, follow me!
Some brazen influencer is causing trouble for Mr.
Hurry, let’s go in and resolve this for Mr.
A group of people moved mightily toward the inside of the airport.
Cheng Zhidong followed behind, his face speechless as he said, “I have no idea who the blind fool is who dare to trouble such a big shot.
They’re really courting death.
These female internet celebrities really need a good disciplining.”
The person beside him said, “Isn’t your niece an internet celebrity too?”
Cheng Zhidong retorted, “My niece is a positive energy internet celebrity, an ambassador for gender equality.
How could she possibly be like these blind fools?”
Upon seeing Lu Chuan hang up the phone, Cheng Yao coldly said, “Let me tell you, even if people from the Censorate Department come, you’ll have to give me a sincere apology today.
You think a lousy loser like you can fight with me?
Lu Chuan looked at Cheng Yao with a pitying gaze and said, “I just hope you can still say that later.”
At this moment, Feng Yuanshan had led the people from the Censorate Department into the hall and quickly walked over after spotting Lu Chuan’s position.
Dashan saw these people from the Censorate Department and couldn’t help but frown, murmuring, “Aren’t they here to pick someone up?
Why are they heading our way?”
Cheng Yao had not expected the people from the Censorate Department to arrive so quickly, and in such numbers, which she found somewhat strange.
However, when she saw Cheng Zhidong among the group, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Turning her head to Lu Chuan, she said, “You’re really out of luck today.
That man over there is my uncle, and these people from the Censorate Department must all be his subordinates.
